The Lie

You were in a slump
All you did was dwell
I made up the lie
Oh God it hurt like hell.

I had to make you move forward
In order to do that I had to be curt
I had to make you hate me
But I didn't know how much it'd hurt.

You asked me if I ever loved you
Painfully I whispered "No"
But oh God, sweetheart
I loved you more than you'll ever know.

I had to push you to life
I had to rip myself from your heart
Now as I listen with tears in my eyes
You can make a brand new start.

You never knew
That what I said was a lie
But when I saw your pain
I only wanted to die.

You're safe in your hate
You're now free of me
I silently hang up the phone
And give into the tears that threaten me.
